Help-IC's needed AU or AQ

Attilasimon, since you said you might be interested in other possible suggestions, I would recommend that you put on your audition list either Accoustic Zen Silver Reference II's or Matrix reference II's. I have listened to cables from the two other companies that you mentioned and liked the Acoustic Zen cables much better. Like everything else in high end audio, personnal taste and system synergy are factors regarding cable selection. I find the Accoustic Zen "house sound" to offer a great balance between details/clarity/extension and musicality/liquidity, along with being very well built and very fairly priced. Hope this helps.

Try Silentaudio Apollo C interconnects sold on Audiogon auctions (for SS electronics) and with the 90% you save over cardas, etc. you can treat yourself to something else. If they don't work for you, you won't have spent much; especially if you need short lengths. COntact Paul for whatever lengths you need. I've bought several and am very happy. I've heard slightly better for $300-400 more but would rather use the money to upgrade other parts of my system. You'll never know how any IC will sound until you put them in your system. Therefore, if you decide to spend several hundred dollars on ICs see if you can borrow burned in demos before you purchase them.

If you don't want to think about cables after your purchase get the AQ. The Cheetahs are excellent and besides SKY the closet thing to not having cables. Neutral, coherent, depth, texture.

Rello is right.
Go for AQ. I own the Sky and the Everest speakercable.
They are excellent!!!!!
